how has colborne been useless? He's becoming a strong faceoff guy, is fine in the offensive zone (in my opinion), and generally plays well all over the ice. Sure it would be nice to see more offense from the guy, but i think he's shown that he can handle the NHL game better than baertchi at this stage. That's not a knock on baertchi, but he just hasn't been able to transition his game to the NHL level and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he just isn't strong enough
yet.
